I believe that since it is somebody's body, they can decide to decorate it with anything they wish. Be it tattoos that have deep emotional meanings or just purely because it looks good.

My first tattoo, diamonds on my pelvic region, was  purely for looks and was sorta of a "on a whim" tattoo.  Since it was completed, it sort of developed its own personal meaning and now I am glad I got it.

My back piece ,tribal angel wings, were done after a troubling time for me personally and I always wanted an angel near me, thus guardian angel wings.They are quite a stunner, cant wait to get my bottom left feathers finished.

The next I plan on getting in a few weeks will be "Family" and "Friends" written on the inside of my biceps in cursive. I am getting them done because in my opinion they are some of the most important thigns in ones life. Also the font and colors I picked look amazing together,  so it fills both roles.
